dumb newbie ? - Canon ip6600 or HP 8250 which to choose

[zakezuke]

Zakezuke - The project was limited to the inks that the most people have

written about on the Nifty forum No one there had mentioned using Lyson
products. It was necessary to consider products for which test prints were
readily available.

In other words... if i'm curious about it i'm going to have to pony up
and buy some then and submit it for testing? Damn...

To be honest the main reason I bring it up in this group isn't so much
that they have two products that claim to either have a wider gambit or
one that claims to be more archival... mostly simply when measkite gets
on his high horse about there being no brand name third party solutions
when Lyson, while a premium priced solution, is available in retail
boxes in specality shops. I am actually curious about it but know of
no canon users of their products.

Spendy at $7ish/oz for the bulk fotosonic I believe but still somewhat
curious about it. After all there could be a different trade off like
with the $2.50/oz solutions i'm presently buying.

There are several users of Hobbicolors as well, but they are currently
limiting their evaluation to MIS, Formulabs, and IS (forgot to mention that
one before.)
